Adam Seebeck · Founder and former company president
Adam founded unQbd, a reading and streaming platform for books, and before that was the president of a healthcare software development company. He has a business management degree, years of college-level teaching, and 17 published books, several at #1 in their Amazon category.
Your child learns pricing from someone who has set prices, and pitching from someone who has pitched. Not theory. The real thing, from someone who does this for a living.
Not a worksheet in a binder. Real skills, and a business they built and ran themselves.
How to price, what margin means, and why some products make money and others do not. The math that runs every business.
A real product or service your child built, priced, and sold to real customers during the cohort.
Talking to strangers about what they made, taking feedback without folding, and pitching in front of a room.
They learn to use AI the way working founders do, for research, marketing copy, and mockups, and to tell good output from garbage.
Initiative, resilience, and the confidence that comes from making something people actually pay for.
Choose your preferred daytime or evening group on Mondays and Wednesdays. If your preferred group does not fill, choose another available group or take a full refund. We confirm your group before any tuition beyond the deposit is due.
Three phases, each building on the last. Every student finishes with a business they ran.
Your child does not get a worksheet packet. They get a real book, written for this cohort, with twenty chapters that track the twenty sessions. It is theirs to keep.
There are two editions, one for middle school and one for high school, so your child works from the book written for their group rather than a single volume stretched across both. Adam wrote them the same way he wrote the seventeen books already on Amazon. Miss a session and the chapter is waiting.
Put down the refundable $100 and let the first three sessions be your trial. If it is not right, tell us before session four. We issue a full refund.
Not ready to decide? Come see it free on Saturday, August 15.

unQbd is an approved Step Up For Students service provider, and this cohort is an approved service offering, eligible under PEP, FES-UA, FES-EO and FTC. Step Up pays only after instruction is delivered, so you pay us and then file for reimbursement, and we send you the itemized invoice and provider details they ask for. Check with Step Up that your student's account covers this before you pay. If it does not work out, your deposit comes back.
Saturday, August 15. Drop in any time, 10:00am - 12:00pm ET, in Windermere.
A free, no-pressure drop-in for parents. Come any time in the window, stay as long as you like. Adam will walk you through exactly what the ten weeks look like, show you a live build so you can see what your student will actually make, and answer whatever you want to ask. Students are welcome but not required.
Seats in the room are limited. RSVP so we know to expect you.
This is our founding cohort, so we put the risk on us rather than on you. Two guarantees, and every seat is covered by both.
Attend the first three sessions. If it is not right for your child, tell us before session four. We issue a full refund. Your child keeps the printed textbook.
By the last session your child has stood up and pitched the business they built at Pitch and Market Night. Attend the sessions, do the work, and if that does not happen, we refund your full tuition.
Attend the first three sessions. Tell us any time before session four begins and we refund your full tuition, including the $100 deposit. No forms and no questions.
Your child keeps the printed textbook.
Your child finishes the cohort having pitched the business they built at Pitch and Market Night.
To qualify:
If your child meets these and that does not happen, we refund your full tuition.
This applies to both guarantees. If Step Up For Students reimbursed part of your tuition, their rules require that amount to go back to your student's scholarship account rather than to you.
Anything you paid yourself, including the $100 deposit, comes back to you.
No. We start from the basics and build up. The kid who sells snacks out of their backpack and the kid who has never thought about business both do well in this room.
Yes. There is a free open house on Saturday, August 15 in Windermere, and you can drop in any time 10:00am - 12:00pm ET. RSVP so we know to expect you. If you would rather talk one-on-one first, book a 15-minute parent call instead.
Middle and high schoolers. We place students by grade so each group has the right pace and projects.
Yes, deliberately small. Products and services stay small-dollar and parent-visible: you always know what your child is selling and what they earned. We teach the tracking, and the profit is theirs.
It starts where the lemonade stand ends. Real pricing, real margin, repeat customers, and a pitch in front of a room. The stand is a Saturday. This is ten weeks of learning why some stands work.
Founders use AI every day now. Your child learns to use it the way professionals do, for research, marketing copy, and product mockups, and to know when the output is garbage.
In person in Windermere, Mondays and Wednesdays. The daytime option is 10am to 12pm; the evening option is 6pm to 8pm. Ten weeks, from September 14 to November 18, ending with Pitch and Market Night.
625 Main Street, Suite 27B, Windermere, FL 34786. We are on the second floor, head upstairs. Windermere is convenient to Winter Garden, Horizon West, Hamlin, Dr. Phillips, Ocoee, Clermont, and Minneola. If the drive turns out not to work for your family, the money-back guarantee through session 3 still applies.
Yes. A daytime option is available on the same days, 10am to 12pm, and is built for homeschool families. Select it as your preference when reserving.
A laptop they can bring to each session. We send the minimum specs at enrollment and have one loaner if you need it. We set up all the software with your family the week before, so session one is spent building, not installing.
Yes, a printed one, and it is included. We wrote it for this class: twenty chapters, one per session, so a student who misses a week can catch up from the book instead of falling behind. There are two editions, one for middle school and one for high school, and your child gets the one written for their group. Your child keeps their copy.
Life happens. Every session has a written recap and materials, so your child catches up at home with no lost ground.
Drop your child off or stay for the session, whichever suits you. You are welcome to sit in on any session, every session. At enrollment we collect your emergency contacts and the adults allowed to pick your child up, and we release students only to someone on that list. High schoolers can sign themselves out if you tell us that is fine. All communication outside the classroom runs through you, never directly with your child.
Not unless you say so. We do not post photos of your child, their school, their age, or any location more specific than West Orlando. If their work is shown as an example later, you choose the name on it: a first name and last initial, a first name only, a display name your child picks, or no name at all. If you want something renamed or taken down, email us and it is done, no reason needed.
Your child does. The idea, the product, and the profit are theirs to keep. We only ask permission to show their work as an example of what students build, and you can withdraw that at any time.
The founding rate is $1,995 for the full ten weeks, which works out to just under $50 per in-person hour. A $100 refundable deposit saves a seat and is applied to your tuition. Paying privately, you can settle the balance two weeks before the first session or split it into two payments of $947.50, the first two weeks before session one and the second at the halfway point. Using a Step Up scholarship? You pay the same way, then file for reimbursement. See the scholarship question below.
Yes. unQbd is an approved Step Up For Students service provider and this cohort is an approved service offering, eligible under PEP, FES-UA, FES-EO and FTC.
One thing to know up front: Step Up pays a provider only after instruction has been delivered, so scholarship funds cannot cover the deposit or an up-front tuition payment. You pay us, then file for reimbursement. Reimbursement requests can be submitted up to four months ahead of the sessions being taught, which covers this cohort end to end.
We send you an itemized invoice with the provider details Step Up asks for. Confirm with Step Up that your student's account covers this before you pay. Only Step Up For Students can confirm what an account covers.
Tell us before session four begins. We issue a full refund. If Step Up For Students reimbursed you, their rules require the refunded amount to go back to your student's scholarship account rather than to you.
Small physical products, digital goods, and services. Each student picks their own, and part of the course is learning to choose well.
Adam Seebeck. The former president of a healthcare software development company, a business management graduate, a college-level instructor, and the founder of unQbd.
Ten students per group. One founder who has done it. One business your child launches for real. Reserve with a refundable $100 deposit and let the first sessions prove it.
